Marion Center Raceway Tour Event Winner & Updated Points as of 7/22/24
The Homak Penn Ohio Pro Stock Championship Series touring race at Marion Center proved to be an exciting action-filled event. When a group of drivers who don’t race with each other on a regular basis get the opportunity to race together on a smaller track it’s unknown how things will go. The 18 pro stock drivers on hand provided racing fans with door to door action from front to back with very little incident. In the 20 lap feature event, there were just 3 minor cautions and the race lasted a total of 16 minutes. Former Homak Penn Ohio Point Champion, Bobby Whitling took the lead from Timmy Bish on lap 15 and then cruised to the victory in his Slider Race Car.
The next Homak Penn Ohio Pro Stock Championship Series touring race is August 10 at Hummingbird Speedway for Ina’s Memorial. Prior to August 10th, weekly series members will have plenty of racing opportunity to accumulate points at weekly sanctioned track events.
Chris Schneider has 23 sanctioned series races in already in the 2024 season and continues to sit at the top spot in the weekly series points.

Second place point sitter is Brandon Connor who is 51 points behind Schneider. Connor has 21 races in, 9 wins, 16 top 5 finishes, 19 top 10 finishes with his worst finish being an 18th place.
